    ==== CL 18340 ====
    @FIX: allow special characters in job name field at submissions

    JIRA: QUBE-2748

    ==== CL 18324 ====
    @CHANGE: output of "qbadmin s -config" and "qbadmin w -config hostname" now sorted alphabetically.

    JIRA: QUBE-2654

    ==== CL 18285 ====
    @FIX: add better error-checks in cmdrange jobtype's log-parsing code, in case the log file is not readable.

    In some situations, fseek() was causing crashes in the parseFileStream() routine.

    ZD: 17442

    ==== CL 18221 ====
    @FIX: prevent "host.processors" to be unset when jobs are modified.

    JIRA: QUBE-2649

    ==== CL 18157 ====
    @FIX: shortened the timeout for "qbreportwork" when it reports a "failed" work that has migrate_on_frame_retry from 600 seconds to 20.

    This was causing long 10-minute pauses on the job instance when a frame
    fails after exhausting all of its retry counts.

    Original change was made in CL17206, for QUBE-2202/ZD16553.

    ZD: 17447

    ==== CL 18147 ====
    @FIX: Windows worker wouldn't properly release automounted drives at the end of running a job instance

    ZD: 17400

    ==== CL 18001 ====
    @FIX: Pytnon API's qb.ping(asDict=True) was broken when metered licensing was unauthorized, because of the minus sign

    ==== CL 17889 ====
    @CHANGE: job queries requesting for subjob and/or work details now must explicitly provide job IDs.

    Both qbjobinfo() C++ and qb.jobinfo() Python APIs now reject such submissions and return an error.

    For example, the Python call "qb.jobinfo(subjobs=True)" will raise a runtime exception. It must be now called like "qb.jobinfo(subjobs=True, id=12345)" or "qb.jobinfo(subjobs=True, id=[1234,5678])"

    JIRA: QUBE-244

    ==== CL 17863 ====
    @FIX: Qube language callback command "mail-status" wasn't working properly, setting the smtp "TO" field to an incorrect string.

    ==== CL 17858 ====
    @FIX: qb.deleteworkerproperties() and qb.deleteworkerresources() fn should return an error when used with the wrong 2nd arg (must be a list)

    ZD: 16932
    JIRA: QUBE-2381

    ==== CL 17856 ====
    @FIX: misleading "invalid key" error message in supelog when supervisor_max_metered_licenses set to 0

    ==== CL 17797 ====
    @FIX: ignore any ethernet interface with "virutal" in its description when detecting the primary MAC address on Windows.

    ZD 17072

    ==== CL 17790 ====
    @FIX: issue where the background helper thread frequently sends 2 or more update requests (QB_MESSAGE_REQUEST_UPDATE) to a single "questionable" worker (i.e., one that has missed enough heartbeats, and potentially down) at once.

    ZD: 17124

    ==== CL 17735 ====
    @FIX: badlogin jobs can't be retried or killed (previously fixed in CL15011, but regressed)
